WATERBROOK RESERVE MERLOT - 2007

From Columbia Valley, Washington State.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark red color with aromas and flavors of cranberry-pomegranate, cherry, plum and mocha. Good fruit that turns from sweet to tart on the finish. Integrated oak that is prominent but not quite overwhelming.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

89 PTS

A well-produced Merlot for the price. Retails for around $20. Round, balanced acidity. I was hoping for a bit more complexity based on some of the stellar reviews this wine has be given.
